Extensive Reading

Tom’s MReader Project (2014)

This is a more user-friendly version of the MoodleReader plug-in used in the 2009 version.  It no longer uses the complex Moodle code, so is faster.  It now boasts 3700 quizzes and is still growing.

The reader project has over 1500 quizzes on various Graded Readers and other books used by students to learn English with an Extensive Reading approach. Students take quizzes and add to their collection of book covers for every quiz that they pass, working towards a word-count goal set by their teacher. Use of the module is free of charge. Schools can set up MoodleReader on their own server or request space on Moodlereader.org See the following for further information:
